Beck foreshadowed his desire to become the next Gloria Vanderbilt in September of last year, when the former Fox showman bashed Levi’s for what he saw as its overly progressive ad campaign:

I am not an activist. Is anyone else feeling like ‘you’ve got to be kidding me?’I don’t want to be an activist. I just want my normal life back. I just want my normal life back. I want my country back. Levi’s, I don’t believe in boycotts. I’m not going to boycott you I’m not to lead a boycott. I really don’t care what other people do. They’re sitting on your product. Your product is on their [whispered] ass. So I really don’t care what anyone else does. Me personally, never again. I know you’re celebrating, but never again will I give you a dollar or a dime or what is it now? $400 dollars for a pair of Levi’s. Thank you, but no thank you.
